ROUND ROCK, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) today is extending its commitment to deliver the most energy-efficient products in the industry with configurations of its OptiPlexâ„¢ 745 and 740 corporate desktops designed to meet Energy Star 4.0 requirements.

The company also said that it expects to be one of the first in the industry to complete its Energy Star 4.0 compliance work across multiple systems within its commercial desktops, notebooks and workstations product lines before the July 2007 deadline. In the coming weeks, Dell will offer configurations of Dell Precisionâ„¢ workstations that meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. In addition, the recently announced Latitudeâ„¢ D830, D630 and D531 notebook systems are also available with a broad selection of configurations that are also compliant.

…The OptiPlex Energy Smart 745 and 740 feature 80 percent efficient power supplies that enable more efficient energy consumption management. Configured with flat panel monitors, these systems can help customers save up to 77 percent in power consumption compared to previous generation systems when combined with Energy Smart power settings….

Very cool, anything the manufacturers can do to bring the consumer more energy efficient desktops has to be a good thing, lowering the energy requirements for the desktop reduces my desktops’ carbon footprint and my energy costs.
